This toy is obviously best used anally. You could use it vaginally, but make sure you clean the toy before you use it in both the vagina and the anus. There is a large ring at the end of the toy that you can use to push the toy in and pull it out again. This toy is best suited for people that have never had anything in their backdoor because the balls are so small. It's a great first anal toy. You could use this toy solo or with a partner. There was no issue safety wise with this toy. It would be hard to get lost because of the large ring on the end.

The beads are made of a harder jelly. The material itself smells like plastic, but it's not extremely smelly. The toy feels like plastic, and the material was good because I could feel the beads as they entered me. It's a firmer plastic which is really good for people who need a harder plastic to get off. The beads are super smooth, and have a small but unnoticeable seam. With the smooth texture and gentle size, this toy is perfect for beginners.

The design is cute and pretty, especially in the purple color that I ordered. The shape is perfect for easy insertion. The size is almost seven inches insertable which was great. The beads themselves were perfect for my first anal toy. The beads start out as small as a pea and then get as big as a grape. The size probably isn't big enough for people who love anal stimulation, but as this was my very first anal toy, it was perfect. It really eased me into the whole experience.

I'm going to be blunt. I have never had anything inside my butt before. I was really curious with the whole world of anal toys. This toy was the perfect intro to this fascinating world. To get warmed up, I used my vibrator on my clit to just have an opening orgasm. After that, I used a water based lube and liberally applied it to the toy and my butt. I held my breath as I pushed the first bead in. It slipped in with no hesitations or drag, and it felt good. The next five beads slid in no problem. I could barely feel them going in. Once it got to the last two beads (which are the biggest) I had to use just a little bit of force. Once I had the whole thing in, the ring was sticking out of my hole. The whole experience was crazy! The feeling of having each bead slide in was stimulating, and a major turn on. When I pulled the beads out, it felt amazing! The toy slid out really fast, and each bead popped out and made me super horny. Although I didn't climax from this toy, it still felt really good.

You should probably be really diligent in cleaning this toy because of where it is being used. After each use I run it under hot water, and then use antibacterial soap. After that I used toy cleaner to just satisfy my need for everything to be über clean. I am storing my beads in the plastic packaging they came in. Even though this toy is just made of plastic, I am using a water based lube just to be safe.

The packaging is a plastic container that isn't discreet at all. It says anal 101 intro beads on the front, so it's obvious what this is used for. I don't think this would make a good gift just because the packaging isn't really nice or special looking.

For my first anal play, I thought this was really interesting. Warning this next part could be a little graphic...

When you put the beads in it feels like you are squeezing your anus, and contracting the muscle. When the beads are in, you can't even feel them. If the ring wasn't popping out of my butt, I wouldn't even have known it was there. When I pulled the toy out, it felt like pooping, but very different because the toy is hard and each bead feels really good when it pops out. If you are considering anal play, this would be the perfect start.
